ABC has announced that Samantha Harris will not be returning as co-host of Dancing With the Stars

when the 10th season begins on March 22, 2010. She and Tom Bergeron have been working together on the reality show since 2006.

Harris said, “It could not have been more of a dream job. I loved every single second of it and I’ve made lifelong friends at the show.”

Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael Lohan has been arrested yet again. For a man who claims to be a minister, abiding by the law must not be part of his belief system.

On January 21, Michael’s ex-girlfriend Erin Muller, 34, claims that he called her at her place of work. This is in direct violation of a court order of protection that prevents him from contacting her for any reason.

Lohan, 49, was arrested yesterday morning and charged with criminal contempt. This is a second strike for Michael, who was arrested in December for the same offense.

Lohan’s attorney claims that his client is a “victim of fabrication.”

Country music superstar Carrie Underwood has been tapped to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

The former “American Idol” champ and four-time Grammy-award winner won’t be the only one singing America’s praises; Queen Latifa will perform “America the Beautiful” and rock group The Who will be part of the halftime show.

Underwood, who recently got engaged to Ottawa Senator hockey star Mike Fisher, joins other big names who have sung the national anthem at the game, includiing Beyonce, Billy Joel and Whitney Houston.

Super Bowl XLIV will be broadcast Sunday, February 7 on CBS.

Sandra Bullock and her husband, Jesse James, are frantically searching for their dog, Cinnabun, who’s gone missing.

There’s a $20,000 reward for the pup.

Kimmie Caracoles, a West Coast Choppers Model, is offering her own reward for help finding the dog.

Caracoles has said she will go on a date with whoever helps find Cinnabun.

Caracoles, who works as a lingerie and pin-up model, tweeted: “find cinnabun and win a date with beautiful me!!! and you know what that means…..(i’ll probably let you touch my boob).”

The dog is lost somewhere in the Long Beach, CA area. If you see her, call 592-983-6666.

Kim Kardashian shared some gorgeous bikini “twitpics” with her Twitter followers while flying the friendly skies earlier this week. She leaked the self described “super sexy & edgy” bikini shots and gushed that her Nick Saglimbeni photo shoot was “HOT HOT HOT!”

The reality show star ‘tweeted’ that the photos are not yet retouched and was loving the lavender cut-out Brian Lichtenberg swim suit.

We totally agree Kim. These photos rock!

Singer Katy Perry was photographed yesterday parading to and from a Hollywood studio in some revealing dance togs. She was sporting black lacy tights and a skimpy grey leotard.

The musician was a guest judge last night on American Idol and managed to butt heads with Kara DioGuardi. We’re not sure if their little feud was trumped up or a real clash between divas.


Nadya Suleman held what she described as a low-key birthday party yesterday for her eight famous babies. We’re sure by ‘low-key’, she wasn’t referring to the deafening decibel level at the milestone event. The octuplet toddlers celebrated their first birthday on Monday, January 26, 2010.

Octomom served up pizza and cake to her brood of fourteen children and shared some insight into the family’s current status. She said, “I don’t get much sleep — about 2-3 hours a night. But I’m continuing to move forward with my life and trying to be the best mother that I can be.”

She prefers exercise to sleep, working out three hours each night while the children are all nestled in their beds and sleeping. She works out four days a week at a neighborhood gym, usually starting at midnight. The exercise routine has helped Nadya to shed 150 pounds. She has gone from 270 to 120 pounds and recently debuted her new self in a red bikini on the cover of Star magazine – see pic in gallery below.

Suleman has the help of three live-in nannies and admits that it is getting more difficult now that the one-year-old tots are walking. Add to that the fact that her three oldest children have developmental disabilities and it is clear it will never be a walk in the park for this mother.

Actor Mel Gibson and girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva welcomed a baby girl into their lives three months ago. The 54-year-old celebrity sat down and talked to Jay Leno last night about being a father again for the eighth time.

So what is it like this time around for Mel? He said, “You know, you’re more mellow, there’s shortcuts, I guess. Earplugs, you know!”

Jay was curious if Mel was splitting the baby duties with Oksana, “I will be honest, I would say that her mother does the lions share of that work, but you know, I support her.”

After 45 years, Gibson has given up smoking. Mel has been off the cigarettes for 18 days because he wants to play tennis with his baby girl when she gets older. He told Jay that the withdrawal from nicotine has been extremely difficult: “For the first three days you are an ax murderer, then you come down to a baseball bat and then a golf club.”

It doesn’t get much sweeter than this. In addition to a lavish, star-studded party, Sean “Diddy” Combs gave his son a $360,000 Maybach luxury sedan for his 16th birthday.

Diddy threw his son Justin Dior Combs a party at M2 Ultralounge club in Manhattan, featuring performances by rappers Fabolous, Lil’ Kim, and Jim Jones. The rapper put the exclamation point on the extravaganza with a silver Maybach wrapped in a red bow.

Diddy also provided a uniformed driver to escort Justin and his friends around New York City

– because, at 16, Justin is just now learning how to drive.

In addition to the wheels, Diddy also gave him a check for $10,000, which Justin immediately donated to Wyclef Jean’s charity Yele Haiti.

“Words can’t even describe how I feel. I’m so blessed and thankful for all of this,” Justin told UsMagazine at his party – which will be featured on an upcoming episode of MTV’s ‘My Super Sweet 16.’

Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning is gearing up to face the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV on Sunday, February 7, 2010. Solidly supporting her man is his gorgeous wife Ashley Manning.

Born Ashley Thompson, she met her future husband the summer before his freshman year at the University of Tennessee. They wed on St. Patrick’s Day 2001 in Memphis, Tennessee.

Perhaps the best way to describe the successful wife and business woman is to say that she prefers to stay out of the spotlight.

During an interview for Indianapolis Woman magazine, she said, “People may think I am aloof, but I’m not, and I am not shy by any means, but I always let Peyton shine.” She admits that she gives him space and she is very independent, perfectly happy doing her own things.

Ashley was born in Memphis and attended the University of Virginia and graduated in 1997 with majors in finance and marketing. She is currently a real estate developer and is involved in marketing a downtown Indianapolis residential development property.

Most people are well versed on the identity of New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees — a favorite among the “Who Dat Nation”. Fans aren’t nearly as familiar with his beautiful wife Brittany Brees. We’re about to rectify that with a few facts and a photo gallery.

Drew’s wife was born Brittany Dudchenko. They met at Purdue where they attended college and were married in February 2003. Drew joined the Saints in 2006, prompting the couple to purchase and renovate a home in Uptown New Orleans. They have a son Baylen Robert Brees who was born on January 15, 2009 — on his father’s 30th birthday.

The couple is becoming increasingly known for their charitable endeavors. They donated $2 million to Purdue to help enhance the athletics programs at their Alma mater. They have also inspired others to return to Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans by lending their name and support to the rebuilding efforts.

Drew and Brittany established The Brees Dream Foundation in 2003. Its mission is to advance research in the fight against cancer and provide care, education and opportunities for children in need. Since its inception, the foundation has committed more than $4.5 million to charitable causes in New Orleans and San Diego. The organization was initially self-funded and has grown due to the generous contributions from individuals and corporations across the globe.

Mark Kerrigan, the brother of figure skater Nancy Kerrigan, has been charged with assault after the death of their 70-year-old father, Daniel Kerrigan.

Daniel Kerrigan died over the weekend after authorities found him unconscious on the floor of the family’s Massachusetts home.

Officers found 45-year-old Mark Kerrigan “belligerent and combative” in the basement of the home after responding to a 911 call around 1:45 a.m. on Sunday. They used pepper spray to subdue him before his arrest.

According to the police report, Mark Kerrigan told officers he struggled with his father and put his hands around the elder man’s neck when he wouldn’t let him use the phone. He reportedly told police that he thought his father was “faking it” when he collapsed on the floor.

Mark Kerrigan remains in police custody awaiting arraignment Monday on a charge of assault and battery on an elder person resulting in serious bodily injury.

Kerrigan’s mother, Brenda, refuted claims that her husband’s death was suspicious, telling the Boston Herald that he died of a “massive heart attack.”

“My God. He had a heart attack,” she told the newspaper. “That’s what it was.”

Currently pro-golfer Tiger Woods is at Gentle Path in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and is undergoing rehabilitation for sex addiction. Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren is said to have spent the past several days at the center with Tiger.

Sources say that Elin took a private jet to Mississippi and spent five days participating in Tiger’s rehab program. RadarOnline.com is reporting that they both want to save the marriage and that it is not over.

Private security was brought in to keep Nordegren out of the public eye. Elin returned to Orlando on Sunday. While she was away, her twin sister Josefin and a nanny took care of the couple’s children Sam and Charlie.

Diff’rent Strokes star Gary Coleman has been arrested on one count of domestic assault – a misdemeanor – and is currently being held in Santaquin, Utah on $1,725 bail, TMZ reports.

Police have not identified the victim and calls to Coleman’s agent and lawyer have not been returned.

For Coleman, 41, the past couple of years have been tough. His wife Shannon Price was arrested last year for a domestic violence incident that involved the actor.

In 2008, Price and Coleman made an appearance on TV’s Divorce Court to discuss their marital problems.

Coleman just recently settled a lawsuit with a man he allegedly struck with his car in September 2008.

More recently, Coleman was hospitalized briefly in Los Angeles after becoming ill.

ZOE SALDANA- She Is Hot...

Christopher Walken - Ummm... I Don't Know How I Feel About This!

Michael Douglas has revealed that Viagra is the secret to keeping up with his much-younger wife Catherine Zeta Jones.

The 65-year-old actor confessed in an interview with AARP magazine that modern medicine is one of the reasons for his successful marriage to 40-year old Zeta Jones.

“At least in your head, your fire burns as brightly. Let’s not kid ourselves. God bless her that she likes older guys,” he said when asked about their love life.

“And some wonderful enhancements have happened in the last few years – Viagra, Cialis – that can make us all feel younger.”

The NOH8 gay rights campaign has picked up another high profile Republican supporter. Cindy McCain has agreed to lend her face to the silent protest photo project against California Proposition 8.

The group has worked with Meghan McCain in the past. To say that they were pleasantly shocked when her mother offered to be photographed for the campaign is an understatement. NOH8 founder Adam Bouska said, “In the year since we’ve started the NOH8 campaign, we’ve often been surprised at some of the different individuals who have approached us showing their support. Few, though, have surprised us more than Cindy McCain.”

The wife of John McCain wanted to send the message that marriage equality isn’t a Republican issue any more than it is a Democratic issue. It’s about human rights and everybody being treated equally.

Actress Tara Reid and her German boyfriend Michael Axtmann have announced they are engaged. The internet entrepeneur proposed to Reid on Monday night while they were enjoying dinner at L.A. eatery The Little Door. They are planning a small summer wedding with family and friends.

Reid revealed several years ago that she had suffered permanent disfigurement from a botched plastic surgery. She has since had additional surgery to correct the issues. See other celebrity plastic surgeries disasters.

The 34-year-old “American Pie” actress appears on the cover and in the pages of Playboy’s January-February 2010 issue. Initially it was reported that Reid would appear nude, but it has since been reported that she appears topless.

Miranda Kerr GQ Spread

Charlie Sheen isn’t the only actor on the set of ‘Two and a Half Men’ having personal issues. Co-star Jon Cryer fears that he is going to be taken out by a hitman, possibly hired by his ex-wife Sarah Trigger.

John and Sarah were married from 1999 to 2004 and have a son, Charlie Austin Cryer. Back in May Sarah was arrested on felony child neglect charges and the couple continue to battle for custody of their child.

Last Friday Cryer told authorities that he feared for his life, believing that his ex had hired a hitman to take him out. The FBI has been on the case for the last week but so far they have no suspects.

Jon’s hit television show has stepped up security and last Friday the show was taped without a live audience.

Jennifer Lopez was a guest of George Lopez on Monday night. She did a five minute stand-up monologue on Lopez Tonight, and managed a few zingers before the late night host took back his stage.

J-Lo started with, “Welcome to Lopez Tonight, where nobody gets fired – they just get replaced with a bigger star with the same last name.” She went on to bash FOX News and Sarah Palin, calling the former governor “la cabrona”, Spanish for bi*ch.

Jennifer Lyon 1972-2010

Survivor Palau cast member Jennifer Lyon, who appeared on the show from February to May 2005, died of breast cancer at her Oregon home on Tuesday, January 19. She was 37.

The reality show star noticed a thickening that didn’t seem normal in her right breast in 2004. She chalked it up to scar tissue from her breast implants and did not seek medical evaluation until filming of Survivor wrapped in December 2004.

Doctors determined that Jennifer had stage-three cancer. She opted for a modified mastectomy, along with chemo and the drug tamoxifen to prevent a recurrence of the cancer cells. She battled the disease for five years before her death.

Fellow cast-mate Ian Rosenberger said, “She has been the model of grace, and has been so brave.”

Lyon, who came in fourth in the Survivor Palau competition, was the first cast member to die. Crew member Alton Desiree died from drowning while the show was filming in Brazil.

OH MY GAWD!!! DID YOU SEE KEVIN JONAS' NEW PUPPY???

60 Year Old Ivana Trump... Would You Hit That????

The domain name CONANONFOX.COM was reportedly registered last week behind the shield of Domains by Proxy, Inc. Initially TMZ was reporting that the registrant was none other than the Intellectual Property Department at Twentieth Century Fox but they have since backed off on that story.

In any case, earlier today if you typed in CONANONFOX.COM, you were redirected to an interesting Twitter page – see screenshot below. The account has since been suspended.

FOX may have grand designs on hiring Conan O’Brien away from NBC. His current contract will keep him on the bench and off the air until September, but a fall premiere would fit nicely into their lineup.

The Tonight Show host has made it clear that he will not go along with NBC’s attempt to move the show’s start time to 12:05 a.m. in order to accommodate a 30 minute show by Jay Leno that would start at 11:35 p.m. The network has since offered the Tonight Show back to Leno and a fat payday for O’Brien is in the works — reportedly $40 million.

Sitting behind a desk on The Jay Leno Show last night, the soon to be 60-year-old host gave his side of the story .



Tiger Woods is receiving treatment at a rehabilitation facility in Mississippi for sex addiction.

Woods is at the Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where police were called earlier this week due to an unknown reason.

Rehabilitation at the facility involves group and couple therapy. According to a sex rehabilitation specialist, if Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren are serious about repairing their marriage, Nordegren will show up at the facility.

There's a reason why MO'NIQUE didn't thank her waxer when she accepted her Golden Globe on Sunday night: Because she obviously doesn't have one. Mo'Nique attended the ceremony with some seriously furry legs.

Say what you want about the Octomom, NADYA SULEMAN . . . but it's getting hard to deny that she looks pretty darn good. Especially for a woman who's had 14 buns in her oven . . . including EIGHT AT ONCE.

At the tender age of 15 years old, actress Dakota Fanning is already filming her first lesbian scene. Right or wrong…it does seem young.

In the upcoming biopic “The Runaways”, Dakota plays a rocker in a teen band who encounters a “same sex” moment. How did Fanning feel about the edgy scene that she and co-star Kristen Stewart filmed?

“I really enjoyed doing that subject matter for the first time in a biopic, because it really happened – it’s not just a made up story about a 15 year old kid running wild. It’s a true story of her evolution from good Valley Girl to bad rock n’ roll princess.”

Dakota appears to be completely grounded in her personal life. She shared the following insight, “I definitely think you have to make good choices.”

Two of my favorite performers, Timbaland and Katy Perry, recently collaborated on single “If We Ever Meet Again” from his new album Shock Value II.

Timbaland spoke with MTV about the meaning behind the song. He said, “I don’t know if I wanna make it like a relationship. I wanna make it like she saved my life with whatever depression I was going through, whether it be drug depression, weight-loss depression – something. Will she be around if we go through this again?”

Madame Tussauds of London has unveiled a wax work of Michelle Obama. Her figure has been placed in a White House Oval Office tableau beside the wax likeness of her husband Barack Obama.

The unveiling was to mark the one year anniversary of the president’s inauguration. The first lady’s wax figure shows her wearing a purple dress and black belted sweater.

Michelle’s wax work will remain on display in London until April 2010, when it will be moved to its permanent location at Madame Tussauds Bangkok, Thailand.

Karissa and Kristina Shannon are moving out of the Playboy Mansion and into the Playmate House so they will be “free to do other things,” according to Hugh Hefner.

Hefner, 83, and the 20-year-old Shannon twins tweeted about their imminent departure on Tuesday.

“The Shannon Twins are growing up. They’re moving to the Playmate House with my blessing so they will be free to do other things,” Hefner posted on his Twitter page.

“Were looking forward to moving to the Playmate House, But we still love Hef & want to remain close,” tweeted the twins.

Hefner says his relationship with girlfriend Crystal Harris is getting more serious, and the twins are interested in doing more Playmate-related promotional work.

“They’ve been hanging out with a lot of the other Playmates, and they see these girls traveling across the country to do promotion,” he said. “They would like to be doing that, too,” says Hef.

The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards were held on Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Hollywood’s finest arrived on the red carpet with umbrellas held high over head to ward off the pouring rain. We’ve provided a list of the top winners and their photos below, and have included a link to the HFPA Golden Globe website for a complete winners list.

Would American Idol fans be able to handle La Toya Jackson taking the place of the always outspoken Simon Cowell? Soft spoken, eyelash batting La Toya wants in!

Here’s what we know — Jackson and AI producer Nigel Lythgoe were recently spotted at a housewarming party for Kathy Hilton at an estate in Bel Air. The two were observed chatting it up about the possibility of La Toya appearing on the show as a guest judge.

This was all before Simon announced that this would be the last season that he would appear on American Idol. Guest judge Ellen DeGeneres will appear this season –

During the American Idol auditions in Atlanta, as seen during night-two of the hit FOX reality show this week, General Larry Platt sang an original song “Pants on the Ground”.

The 62-year-old was a hit with the judges but was ineligible to continue on as a contestant because the age limit is 28. That didn’t stop his little ditty from becoming a viral internet hit.

Capitalizing on the wave, Jimmy Fallon performed the song as Neil Young might have. View more photos and check out the original performance of “Pants on the Ground” and the late night talk show host’s version below.

R&B singer and songwriter Kelis seems to always have a little controversy surrounding her. This time she is taking on PETA — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, after they attacked her.

What’s their beef (pun intended)? Check out the photo above and you will have your answer. The singer believes that PETA president Ingrid Newkirk is “nuts” after Kelis received a letter from PETA. Now she has decided to write an open-letter on her MySpace blog.

“There is no humane way to kill anything, let me start there. It’s unfortunate but it’s part of life. With that being said, I would eat pterodactyl if you found some and you told me it was meaty and delicious. And after doing a very minimal amount of research…I found that the founder Ingrid Newkirk is completely batty. I had a feeling, but she far exceeded my expectations. I mean certifiably insane.”

What wouldn’t Kelis wear? “If I started wearing endangered animals like polar bear or orangutan then talk to me. But the minks and chinchilla, quite honestly, are rodents and if they weren’t in the form of a coat, I would demand they be put to death anyway. They are not an issue to me.

We are apparently not the only ones who think Tila Tequila’s antic are anything but normal. The reality star suffered another blow this week when her publicist Jessica Cohen quit.

Jessica told TMZ, “Some matters need to remain private and away from media attention…I realized we need to part ways while she deals with the loss of her fiancee.” Cohen cited “recent events” as her reason for quitting. Another good excuse might have been — ‘the mounting evidence that Tila is crazy.’

On January 5, 2010, Tila’s fiancee Casey Johnson, heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, was found dead in the guest house of a residence where she was staying. You can listen to the 911 call here.

Teddy Pendergrass 1950-2010

Famed 1970’s and 80’s R&B and soul singer Teddy Pendergrass has died. A family member reports that the famed musician died on Wednesday at Bryn Mawr Hospital in suburban Philadelphia, having never fully recovered from colon cancer surgery eight months ago. He was 59.

Pendergrass began his career in the early 70s when he became the lead singer for Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. Their hits included “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” and “I Miss You.” In 1975 he quit the band and launched a successful solo career with a string of love ballads that included “I Don’t Love You Anymore”, “Close the Door”, “Turn Off the Lights”, and “Love TKO”.

Heidi Montag, 23-year-old “Hills” star, is obsessed with plastic surgery. She underwent a total of ten different procedures in a 10-hour marathon surgical session in November. She is showing off her new look on this week’s cover of People magazine.

Admitting she is “addicted” to plastic surgery, Montag reports that she is seeking “the best me.” In her latest go-round, she underwent the following procedures: mini brow lift, botox, nose job revision, fat injections in the checks, chin reduction, neck liposuction, ears pinned back, breast augmentation revision, buttock augmentation, and additional liposuction on her waist, hips and thighs.

While on location in the chilly Scottish Highlands for the filming of “The Eagle of the Ninth”, actor Channing Tatum sustained severe injuries that sent him to the hospital. The accident happened in October and he is now providing some background on the incident.

The actor spoke with Details magazine and filled them in on his not so smart move. “The only way to keep warm was by pouring a mix of boiling water and river water down your wetsuit. We were finally done shooting for the day, and one of the crew guys asks if I want to warm up before I go. I’m like, ‘Nah, I’m good’. And then I thought, ‘Why not?’”

Seems perfectly fine right? Wrong! The crew member forgot to dilute the scalding water and poured it down Channing’s pants. Trying to pull the wetsuit away from his body, he ended up only making the burning water cover more of his body. The actor called it the “most painful thing I have ever experience in my life.”

Jimmy Kimmel took the stage on his ABC show Tuesday night dressed as Jay Leno. He came out in gray wig, fake chin and totally in character…right down to the lisp.

The late night talk show host opened with, “Hello, hello, my name is Jay Leno…and I’m taking over all the shows in late night.” Later in the show, guest Chevy Chase joined Jimmy on stage, sporting a Conan O’Brien hairpiece.

“The Jay Leno Show” has been canceled and there has been much speculation about a shuffling of the talent by NBC. O’Brien issued a statement yesterday, indicating that he will no longer participate in “The Tonight Show” if it moves beyond its current time slot.
